Will Chocolate Jimmies Melt In The Oven..for Acorn Cookies

I want to make some simple fall cookies for thanksgiving..most of them will be colored by using colored sugar, i know that can go in the oven BUT>>> i want to top the acorn cookies with the chocolate jimmies, should they be applied before or after baking? Also, should i coat the cookie dough with something before spinkling on both the jimmies/sugar to make it stay better.

you need to apply a thin glaze or frosting so that the jimmies will stick... to make things really simple you could just mix powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and dye it tan, paint the tops of the acorns with it and then sprinkle while the glaze is still sticky...have fun!
